Green, blue or brown eyes: each eye color shines in its own right. But with the right make-up you can make your own eye color stand out even better. However, not every eyeshadow flatters every eye color. We have put together the best combinations and also the no-gos. This is how you find the right eyeshadow for your individual eye color:
Green eyes want to be made to shine. Soft, earthy eyeshadow shades such as brown, copper or bronze are ideal: they form a contrast to the green of the iris and visually intensify the natural eye color. Green eyes also benefit from eyeshadow in darker purple colors such as plum, mauve or berry. These shades are particularly suitable for a dramatic look in the evening.
Anyone with green eyes should avoid eye shadows in cool bluish or silver tones. With these nuances there is not enough contrast and the actually bright green eye color loses its luminosity.
Blue eyes can also be perfectly accentuated with earthy eyeshadow tones. Warm nuances such as copper, gold or bronze are ideal for creating a wonderful contrast to the blue iris and making the cool blue of the eyes shine. In addition, soft peach and pink tones create a fresh look for blue eyes. This is also very trendy: the trend color for 2024 is Peach Fuzz.
All make-up fans with blue eyes should avoid blue-green or turquoise eyeshadow shades. These colors can quickly make your radiant gaze appear dull and lacking in contrast.
The largest variety of eyeshadow shades is available to all people with brown eyes. Brown eyes can be perfectly emphasized with warm shades such as taupe, caramel or bronze: these eyeshadow colors create a subtle and elegant look. The entire range of blue and green tones is also available: These colors create interesting contrasts for brown eyes and literally create the perfect eye-catcher effect.
Depending on the shade of your natural brown eye color, you should avoid using similar brown tones in your eyeshadow, otherwise there may be too little contrast.
